Within the range of dental specialties offered in different institutions, there is a group of specialists that can be trained in hospitals or conventional schools of dentistry. Pediatric dentistry can be included within this group of specialties, this training has the same duration of two years, but clearly is not the same.

Resident versus graduate student

In recent times, students of different dental specialties have been called residents, irrespectively of whether they reside in hospital or not. A residency encompasses approximately 7,200 hours of stay in hospital per year, compared to the 1,200 hours per year dedicated to study by a conventional dentistry graduate student. Another factor worth mentioning is the enormous change experienced by the dental specialty resident when he ventures into the medical environment, where is immediately forced to use the same language and terms with physicians con over 20,000 hours of training; this renders it one of the specialties with greater risk of professional wear syndrome (Burnout).
